Just wanted to post some pics and a few stories from this years U.S. Bar Table Championships in Reno. I also want to thank everyone who joined us last week on the stream it was a fun. Thanks as well to all the players and people at the tournament who make the stream interesting and fun.
On to the pics:
Ric Jones of Bad Boys Billiard Productions during the load in at the Sands. It was a real b!tch this year and Ric and his crew worked their asses off on Saturday/Sunday to get everything ready for everyone.
Ric just after the last table was up the ramp in the room. After 32 tables, 18 inches of snow and one twisted knee he was wiped out.
Thorsten Hohman came out for his first ever barbox event. After figuring out that one TOKEN equaled a rack of balls and that you could save a TOKEN by using the stripes when a game ended early he did pretty damn good.
Shane, Thorsten and TOKEN.
"I have never played Let It Ride before. So I sit down and get a four of a kind, and then a three of a kind, then another three of a kind. Know why? Cause I am awesome. Thank you." ~ Sylver Ochoa
Daz: "Do you like mushy peas pal?"
Me: "WTF are mushy peas?"
Daz: "Do you know regular peas?"
Me: "Yes."
Daz: "They are like that pal. Only mushy"
Earl holding court during a break in the finals action. Shane along with everyone else was eating it up.
Earl wins. Efren you got the 8.
Earl with his Meucci and you can bet your ass he jumped full table with it.
